Gendarmes and investigators stand at the campsite where a slain British family were staying on holiday in Saint Jorioz, near Annecy, on September 6, 2012.Prosecutor Line Bonnet tweeted that a person has been placed in police custody in the Chambery region"in connection with the investigation into the murders of the al-Hilli family and Sylvain Mollier, known as the 'Chevaline events' of Sept. 5, 2012.
In 2015, the prosecutor found no evidence to implicate a French motorcyclist that had been questioned by police in Annecy after British police issued a sketch of a motorcyclist seen near the crime scene. Eric Maillaud, the prosecutor in Annecy in 2012, said the 4-year-old girl who survived the shootings could not help their investigation because she was hiding under her mother's legs during the killings. She was found inside the car about eight hours after the shootings.
